#Gentoo #jobserver revealed another problem with steve in particular, and (I believe) the jobserver protocol in general: blocking clients are prioritized over polling clients.
The problem is simple: when handling blocking reads, steve can issue a job token immediately. When handling a poll, it merely indicates that a token is available, and the client must issue another read request to get it. So if tokens are scarce and there are both blocking and polling clients running, the former are likely to be taking all the incoming tokens.
My idea of working around this is to implement temporary reservations. If a client polls for a token, we reserve one for it. The reserved token can afterwards be only read by the same client. This way, both blocking and polling clients get a token — the former get it immediately, the latter get it reserved for them. And if there are no tokens available, both get into a single FIFO queue, for a poor man's round-robin (steve also throttles all reads to one token at a time).
However, polls technically don't guarantee that the client will eventually read the token, so we need to handle reservation expirations as well.
Please, please, please let's be clear about the use or lack of use of cyber to cut off power in Venezuela. I began researching this possibility the second Trump finished his press conference, in which he referenced that the US has "expertise" to cut off power, which most people immediately concluded was cyber.
At this point, I've spoken to a bunch of ICS cyber experts. Given that the Venezuelan government claims the power outage was caused by the destruction of two su…

In Deutschland gibt es erfreulich viele Familienunternehmen: 3 Millionen. Ein marktradikal eingestellter Lobby-Verband hat sich den schönen Namen „Die Familienunternehmer e.V.“ gegeben. Damit wird der Eindruck erweckt, dass es sich dabei um die Stimme nahezu aller inhaber- oder familiengeführter Unternehmen handelt. Dabei hat dieser Verein lediglich 6500 Mitglieder – das sind 0,2% der Familienunternehmen. Dazu Gedanken von Bernhard Suttner.
All immigration officers on the ground in Minneapolis will be equipped with body cameras, Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said on Monday.
Ms. Noem said that the change would be effective immediately and that the program would be expanded nationwide “as funding is available.”
“We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country,” she said in a social media post.
